deployment

Sending forces out

Deployment is the act of putting something into position or use.

Military forces are deployed to a region; equipment is deployed in the field.

In computing, deployment means releasing software to a production environment where users can access it: We're deploying the update tonight.

The word suggests organized, purposeful distribution of resources.
